ITT: Ignorant Americans do not understand that percentage grades are totally different in the US and UK

65% in the UK is a very good grade - a 2.1 classification. It doesn't mean the material is easier, it just reflects the grading skewing and severity of marking. These numbers are arbitrary parameters used to differentiate students' abilities within the UK.

70% in the UK is a first, which is equivalent to a 4.0 GPA. Which is extremely good. Very few students achieve a mark above 70, maybe around 10%

It's totally different to the US grading system where 65/70 would be mediocre

sorry I don't understand the grading scale of every country I'll never go to school in...

also 65 would not be mediocre 65 would be complete crap

In an above comment it said that employers care wht uni you go to here in the uk, I've been told the opposite a first is a first whether it be from Oxbridge or university of Bolton. Obviously it may used to differentiate candidates alongside work experience. I'm currently looking at chemistry at Sheffield or Manchester

That's pretty good bro. A mid 2.1 with honours. Good job! But I reckon that a 3.6 is probably a little higher than that brah, more like a 66 or 67 which then means you could say you got an upper 2.1 with honours
